Sexual Harassment And The Law: Manifest Social Trajectories In The Nigerian Organisational Environment
Journal Title: Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 24
Abstract
The growing dilemma of sexual harassment is becoming more threatening to sustainable high work commitment and performance in the Nigerian organizational environment. Currently, Nigeria has no federal legislation dedicated to eviscerate the dehumanizing debacle. This paper examined the manifest social trajectories in the Nigerian organizational environment as well as the various laws in place to assist the victim in redressing abuse. The paper recommends amongst others that, the growing dilemma could be stemmed if the Labour Standards Bill, is passed by the Nigerian Parliament and also legislative measures allowed to go hand in hand with well documented advertised policies informing workers of the problems, implications and consequences of sexual harassment which is a phenomenon with severe effect on workforce morale and ultimately optimum productivity, if not combated head on. In addition,| effective machineries that will encourage harassed employees to report without victimization or reprisals must be established. Organisations should also maintain transparency so that justice is not delayed and efforts to remediate yield acceptable results.
